I chose this piece because i felt it stayed true to the wheel thrown idea but was still a artistic sculpture rather than a bowl, pot, ect. I also chose this because unlike many of the other wheel thrown sculptures this was not a wheel thrown object with a hand sculpture on it but a truly wheel thrown sculpture.

I think this is a cute and usable piece. The challenging part about it is that if i attempted to make it i would have a hard time making the sculptural part. I think i could handle the wheel thrown part.

Wheel Thrown Sculpture

I chose this piece for my post because it is very unique. They are chess pieces, but they look abstract. Although the Tim Wallace (the artist) did not choose to glaze them, they look good without color. I like how he made the knight, it has it's hoof in the air instead of it not being shown in regular chess pieces.

Wheel Thrown Sculpture

I choose this piece because it looked kind of cool and it has an odd shaped handle. It is also functional like a basket that can hold various items.

Wheel Sculpture

I chose this piece because it looks really cool, and I was wondering how the person who threw this was able to make so many layers.

I chose this piece because you can see the football shape of a vase we started out with. I also like the intricacy of the design and how it resembles waves. I really like this but I don't think I'd be able to create it, maybe something similar. It's just something that caught my eye while browsing.

Wheel Thrown Sculpture

I picked this wheel thrown sculpture because it is well thrown and shaped like a building. I also like the top part of it because it is like an antenna. This sculpture is also very well glazed and slip thrown.

I chose this piece because it resembles the shapes we have been practicing in class and I would be able to alter this type of animal in any way that I wanted.

this piece interests me because of its unique design and creative sculpting that creates a wave like texture.

Crab Pottery and Sculpture

I found this piece of pottery was interesting because of its uniqueness. The sea like theme played along well with this pottery because it has a crab, sea shell, and the colors tie in with the brown sand and blue ocean. I think making the crab must have been the hardest because of its intricate detail and creativity.

Tall Spectacular Lidded Raku Vase

This piece was interesting to me because of the simple yet intricate design. The wheel thrown piece was a solid piece of clay in the shape of a vase/bowl, then carved out on the inside to make it look like a flower, then glazed over with a light creamy green color.

I picked this piece because it has a good balance of sculpture and wheel thrown pieces. The sculpture elements don't take away from the wheel thrown piece, but just add to it. I also like the texture of the tree trunk.

Sculpture/Wheel thrown pieces

These are three pieces created by Dan and Laurie Hennig. These are Wheel-thrown and sculpted stoneware vessels and sculpture, high-fired to cone 10 in reduction. I chose this for my blog post because there is a good balance of wheel thrown and sculpture in these pieces. Also the animals are all really detailed, and the pots are well glazed to match the theme.

I picked this piece because I thought that it was interesting how they made animals using different wheel thrown parts (nose, eyes, body). I also thought that the animals were cute.

I like this vase because of the colors. It is raku fired and has a shiny emerald green and copper red finish. It is 10 inches tall and 7 inches wide.

I really like this vase because of the colors and structure of the vase. It is a swirl of sea blue and deepest black and also a hint of earthtone. It is said to look like an ancient Asian treasure. It is 17 3/4" high.

-Anu Kahele-Manners

I really like this vase because of itʻs shape and color. The glaze on this vase is a copper metallic lacquer. It is 10 3/4 inches in diameter and 10 3/4 inches high.

Wheel Thrown Vase

This piece is a wheel thrown vase that I really like because I like the shape of the vase. I like how it isn't just straight up, but it also changes diameter of the opening. I also like the coy design on the side of the vase.

Strigilated Vase with Snake Handles and Lid

This vase is made out of marble and is an example known today of a Roman vessel with a strigilated pattern carved on the body. The elongated S-shaped channels were a popular form of relief decoration on vases and sarcophagi. The decoration was inspired by the second and third century A.D. I like the broad shoulder part of the vase where the handles meet. I like the intricate detailed curves, dents, and lines in the vase as well.
